LSTS Toolchain
Ripples
Cloud Services used for accessing, storing and relaying real-time asset information. Ripples is used to collect data from different sources and maintain a global situation. It can be accessed through the Web (using REST APIs) or Iridium.
Ripples is also used to connect to remote assets by serving as a proxy between Iridium and the Web. All data being sent and received from remote devices is stored in Ripples, enabling coordination among geographically distributed teams, even in communications-restricted environments.
Neptus
Command and Control Software
Distributed Command and Control Infrastructure for the operation of all types of unmanned vehicles. Neptus supports the different phases of a typical mission life cycle: planning, simulation, execution and post-mission analysis.
Neptus can be adapted by operators to fit mission-specific requirements and extended by developers through a comprehensive plug-in framework.
